Dress to Thrill: How to Deal with An Early Spring In Oregon

With the weather in Portland being an overall 15-20 degrees warmer this year, we understand the importance of supply and demand. Many Portlanders are trading in their fleece early for something a bit cool during this unusual sunny start. Do not fret the early spring in Oregon! hwga is fully stocked with designer maxis in virtually every color of the rainbow. Long and flowing, it’s impossible to feel less than a goddess in one of them. And we have all your favorite styles—from halter to strapless—so many fun ones to choose.

These dresses are long and in need of a pair of adorable platforms or wedged heels. You can also take up the hem at one of our favorite alteration boutiques: Hems In A Hurry—located at 2146 NE Broadway. We think these fabulous designs are well worth it. Imagine this ravishing Ella Moss color block maxi at a special outing with friends and family, or, frolicking merrily through the sand at high seas. Whatever you choose to do with your time, is yours, we’re just here to help.

You can always keep it cool with this Ella Moss
sleeveless maxi in beautiful cobalt. Since the cut is a bit dressier, we recommend wearing a high heel or wedge and bringing along a shawl or jacket to wear into the evening. Signifying confidence and intelligence, the cobalt will accentuate your best attributes and mask your least favorable.

Feel the wind between your toes and let your earthly delights run free in this Rachel Pally green maxi. The strapless cut allows you to play around with a scarf or necklace, or both!—Just make sure you are staying harmonious to whatever style you choose. Switch up the tie as often as you’d like too—a bow on the side or a knot in the back—it’s all good if the means suit your nature.

Chris is a self-confessed resale fashionista. A fashion recycler from an early age, she learned the consignment business from her mother, Jan Gauger, at omt divine resale in Lincoln, Nebraska. Chris moved to Portland, Oregon in 1990 and immediately felt at home, among her people. She started Here We Go Again Deluxe Resale Boutique in 1992 and has never looked back. The second location of her store opened in 1997.
Chris loves pretty much everything about clothes and fashion, but she has a serious boot and shoe addiction that is fed by the two stores. It's doubtful she will ever be recovered.
In addition to clothes, Chris loves mentoring young women and teaching them about what it takes to run and manage a small business. She has employed some pretty remarkable women over the years and is grateful for all they've done to help grow Here We Go Again.
She is a Hoosier by birth, but was raised in Nebraska. She has two sisters who continue to run the consignment store there, and one brother who has sense enough to stay out of the way.
Her husband of twenty-seven years, is a land use planner and the fix-anything-guru that Chris relies upon more often than she'd like.
